General
Current year in Perplex City is 268 AC. Years are the same length as Earth years, with the same months and dates.
Years are designated with "BC" and "AC", originally thought to refer to "Before Cube" and "After Cube". Though with the Receda Cube only being discovered in 7AC (1744) this is unlikely. Cube History
- See Calendar for more on this topic.
Also note, we know of a number of periods of time which have been referred to, though we dont have a good sense of when these happened. These include:
- Pre-Hausam period - seems to be about two to three thousand tears ago
- The War - took place just before the Modern Era.
- Parencycle period of architecture - took place around the early 100s, and includes the Milamont Theatres
- Resurgence period - seems to be about one to two hundred years ago.
